I bought these to upgrade our knives set as my husband and I enjoy cooking. We simple love it!!!! We had and old Henckle set he bought many years ago. So, we knew what we were looking for and it really worked out perfectly.
This block set was a Mother's Day Gift from my family, and I am thrilled! It has a great assortment of knives and the knives are awesome. They are made in Germany from high carbon steel and are one piece construction which makes them so durable. I really don't like a heavy knife, and this knife is just the right weight. The handle is so comfortable and has an amazing grip.
I am so happy with this set. The German made German steel blades give me confidence in my cooking. I love the riveted handles, letting me know the blades are single piece construction. It has the right balance of quality materials and weight. So many knives can be too heavy for me. Here i get a nice light blade without sacrificing quality.
A good block to have and a good block to give. Each of these knives in this configuration are knives that are used daily in the kitchen. That fact, and they are made of German steel, and made in Germany. You have some extra slots to add steak knives to your collection at some point as well. A really great value
The knives is this block are made from German Special formula steel and forged from one piece of stamped steel. That translates to long term durability and blades that stay sharper longer. Handle is extremely comfortable. Block also has a couple of unique knives included - a birds beak paring and a serrated utility, both helpful in the kitchen.
For those who don't care for heavy knives, these are perfect. Same high-quality steel yet stamped to save on heft. Tremendous value...Santoku and peeler included. Block has space for matching steak knives which are tops!
